Download or read book Enhanced Living Environments written by Ivan Ganchev and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book was prepared as a Final Publication of the COST Action IC1303 “Algorithms, Architectures and Platforms for Enhanced Living Environments (AAPELE)”. The concept of Enhanced Living Environments (ELE) refers to the area of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) that is more related with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Effective ELE solutions require appropriate ICT algorithms, architectures, platforms, and systems, having in view the advance of science and technology in this area and the development of new and innovative solutions that can provide improvements in the quality of life for people in their homes and can reduce the financial burden on the budgets of the healthcare providers. The aim of this book is to become a state-of-the-art reference, discussing progress made, as well as prompting future directions on theories, practices, standards, and strategies related to the ELE area. The book contains 12 chapters and can serve as a valuable reference for undergraduate students, post-graduate students, educators, faculty members, researchers, engineers, medical doctors, healthcare organizations, insurance companies, and research strategists working in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Criteria pollutants are monitored in Philadelphia through monitors run by Air Management Services. The monitoring stations, however, cannot assess on a neighborhood level. The novel air monitoring system developed by the Drexel Electrical Engineering department features an inexpensive method for active particulate matter measurements. To date, the system has been implemented in three Philadelphia neighborhoods. Due to the versatility of the system, it is to be adapted or reconfigured to monitor air emissions at Marcellus Shale facilities. Methods: A theoretical framework was developed in order to improve the system beyond previous validation efforts, by conducting a series of laboratory and field trials in Port Richmond, Philadelphia. Efforts were made to adapt the system to monitor ambient air quality in new environmental justice communities that have formed as a result of Marcellus Shale operations. In addition to the framework, a study of available data was performed with the US EPA on three Marcellus Shale operations. Results: Prior deployments of the air monitoring system displayed that more testing and analysis was required to stand up to scrutiny. Data recovery and analysis for the three gas recovery operations provided limited information on the gas recovery facilities. Conclusions: Further validation tests are necessary for the Drexel Air Monitoring System to become a valid method for use in environmental justice neighborhoods and communities, and scientific advances in pollutant detection are necessary for low cost measurements to continue. More data must be released on Marcellus Shale gas recovery operations before risk assessments can be conducted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuous Emission Monitoring, Second Edition is the most comprehensive source of information on the latest technical and regulatory issues that are affecting the design, application, and certification of CEM systems. It provides a thorough discussion of CEM systems, how they work, their advantages and drawbacks, and the regulatory requirements that govern their operation. Equally suitable for an environmental engineer in a plant or control agency, a CEM user, or an inspector/auditor, this book makes it possible to assess the operating characteristics of commercial systems and to evaluate them for a specific application. Thoroughly referenced, with numerous illustrations, it features: * A comprehensive review of regulations, with clear information on changes * New measurement techniques, designs for "smart" analyzers, and advanced monitoring approaches * New chapters on flow rate and continuous particulate monitors * Techniques for recordkeeping, generating reports, and using data acquisition and handling systems * Quality assurance/quality control programs CEMs are becoming a fact of life in regulatory programs throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Environmental professionals as well as vendors and manufacturers will turn to Continuous Emission Monitoring for clear, up-to-date information on the technical and regulatory issues shaping this dynamic field.

Download or read book Development and Testing of an Air Monitoring System written by C. E. Decker and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this contract was to test and evaluate instrumentation based on specified measurement principles selected for the Regional Air Pollution Study (RAPS). The primary objective of the program was to equip an experimental trailer with selected instrumentation and to evaluate these instruments at a non-urban site to: determine if the monitors selected for the study can meet the required performance specifications or need to be modified; determine the operating environment needed to obtain optimum performance from these monitors; evaluate the latest calibration techniques and select calibration procedures to provide the most reliable measurements; and recommend, based on the results of the evaluation program, instrumentation for use in the RAPS program. Instrumentation for the measurement of ozone, sulfur compounds (sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, total sulfur), nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrocarbons (total hydrocarbon, methane, non-methane hydrocarbon) and carbon monoxide in ambient air were included in the program.

Download or read book Development of Particulate Matter Mass Measurement Methods for Atmospheric Air Quality Monitoring and Very Low Vehicle Emissions written by Liem T. Pham and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public raises concerns about the exposure to particulate matter (PM) which has been strongly associated with illness and mortality. However, most of the studies relied on the measurements from stationary monitoring sites, which cannot capture the actual PM exposure for those at or near the source. In this study, both stationary and comprehensive mobile monitoring platforms were developed to measure PM concentration and traffic conditions on some major highways in Southern California. The main objective is to develop a set of alternative metrics that measure particle concentrations as well as particle size. Measurement of particle size distributions are useful but doing so to monitor a wide region is not practical. The use of a particle counter and a diffusion charger was investigated as a relatively simple means to measure spatiotemporally-resolved particle concentrations over a wide region using a mobile platform. While the condensation particle counter and electrical aerosol detector respectively measure particle number and particle active surface area concentrations, the ratio of surface area over number provides an additional information of particle size which is important for particle transport. Particle size distributions measured by scanning mobility particle sizer during ambient monitoring were used to verify the concept. The study found that alternative metrics (number, surface area, and ratio of surface area over number) can be used to monitor spatiotemporally resolved particle concentrations over a wide region. Gravimetric sampling methods on a chassis dynamometer were studied in accordance to Code of Federal Regulations. This study evaluated commercially available partial flow dilutors with a focus on their equivalency with the standard constant volume sampler system and the ability to provide reproducible measurements at low PM emission levels. As PM standards for light-duty vehicles are becoming more stringent, improving the confidence and understanding the mass measurement methods become one of the main goals for the industry and regulatory agencies. Simultaneous testing was conducted with three partial flow dilutors over the Federal Test Procedure and US06 drive cycles. The Federal Test Procedure had means that were statistically different for two of the three partial flow dilutors. As for the US06 tests, the mean differences were not statistically different. The performance of all partial flow dilutors also showed repeatable and accurate level of proportionality, which could easily meet the Code of Federal Regulations 1066 and 1065 requirements for all tests performed.
